Species Caribena versicolor (a.k.a. Avicularia versicolor)

[AlanMM]

Hey everyone,

I tried to mate my versi's.
The male i grew up from when it was a tiny blue sling, about 1.5 years ago.
The female i bought from someone 2 months ago (no real records, said to be 4 years old and molted 4 months ago... )
First i was not sure if the female was ready for it because she was smaller then the male...
Here u see some pictures of the first attempt.
After some pushing (and no drumming), the male went straight to the female, she was very positive about it...

on the left the male, on the right the female:

great pics!
Nice to see they got along fine, and your female was receptive! I'd give him a break, and try again in a week or so.
Good luck!

Hello.

For awhile now my versi sling has been that carribean blue that everyone loves. The last molt before this one came up was a blue but not bright bue. It was kind of grey. So I figured adult colors might be coming in soon.


I did my daily check and found out that my sling molted (5 days ago) was now "hardened" up. So I brought it upstairs for picture time! You can see the pinks, purples and greens.

This is my wife's favorite. I have many favorites...mostly all of my are my favorites!!!!

Enjoy the pics........

Also, for now I am unsure of sex of the little beast.

What a beauty, Chris! I can see how she can be everyone's favorite. Gorgeous colors! How big was she when you got her?

Versi molt

Hello all!

First off....thanks for the comments.

Wendy...it was about 1/2" when I first got it. Now it's lingering around 2.5-3" legspan.



I am glad I helped adding more to your neverending "list". I feel like I have done something right for once...lmao.....

Thanks again!

handling my A. versicolor spiderling for the first time!!! I had to clean out her cage, so I got my opportunity to hold her and take some pics...she was really sweet!

 

[becca81]

Although I don't condone the handling of tarantulas, your spider is very nice! This species looks so cute! I love the coloring at that stage!

 

[Sandra]

How cute! The spider's pretty nice too.

Thats an adorable little bundle there. Avics always seem to have the cutest babies.
